Check out the new list of AMC/Cinemark/Regal theaters where you can see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in high frame rate 3D and listen to a full track from the score

I haven't purchased advanced tickets to a movie in a long time. I have about five theaters in close proximity to me so I always seem to have luck finding a seat on opening weekend. That being said, I am definitely intrigued to check out THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY in 3D and in 48fps. So, when I saw The Film Stage had listed the theaters showing the new Peter Jackson movie in the higher frame rate, I instantly checked for something near me. Lo and behold, not a single theater in my state! What the f*ck?

This could be an early list with more theaters to come. We do still have a month until the movie hits theaters. It would be shocking to me that not a single theater in the Chicago area would have the ability to show 48fps. Either that will change or I will have to settle 24fps.

Here is the "complete" list of theaters showing the high frame rate 3D:

Warner Bros. also announced that advanced tickets for THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY will go on sale November 7th. That means you can have your piece of mind that you will see the latest journey to Middle Earth when the movie opens on December 14th.
